TWEETS RECIENTES

Under IBM Rational Quality Managerv4.0.3, When adding default reporting widgets to RQM dashboard you might encounter the following error:

In order to validate if these default reports are working fine, you may execute the etl jobs for QM applications. However in this scenario, you could notice that the etl job execution was showing no specific errors pertaining to these reports or widgets. You can navigate to the QM and ETL jobs to find if any error gets logged. In most of the cases, you can find an error message :

"The "com.ibm.rqm.reports.service.fragment" bundle could not be resolved."

This fragment is the one that extends the foundation reporting functionality to use specific tools designed in RQM. It acts like a "bridge" between foundation and RQM reporting functions. Since the bundle couldn't be loaded, the reporting functionality in RQM is not working as expected.

There might be several reason for the above error:

It could be that the bundle was removed

It could be that the file is corrupted

It could be a case where the file was renamed.

To confirm , you can navigate to this URL to see if he bundles are activated for the application.On the left pane of the window, click on Internal Tools >> Component Status. All the components listed there are expected to be displayed with green status. Pay special attention to the com.ibm.rqm.reporting section.

Since the bundle that acts as a bridge between the BIRT engine and specific RQM reporting functions can't be resolved, you might encounter such errors. The primary reason could be that the .jar files (com.ibm.rqm.reports.service.fragment_4.0.300.v20130417_0652.jarANDcom.ibm.rqm.reports.service_4.0.300.v20130516_2315.jar) maybe corrupt or maybe it was moved to a part of the disk that is having issues.

First thing you could try is replacing the problematic bundle mentioned above with a clean one while troubleshooting advances, as it is easy and may actually fix the issue. Get a copy of the above mentioned .jar files from a fresh installation of similar version of RQM and perform the below steps.

A scenario where a web based application was being recorded using IBM Rational Performance tester.

Attempts to log-in to the web application led to the the message - 'This Connection is Untrusted'.

The below message was noticed while logging into the application and only during recording through RPT. The message was not seen when the application was not recorded. Also, the option 'Add Exception' was not seen in the message.

The message is seen because, RPT acts as a proxy between the browser and the server application to record the data exchange. When a Secured page is recorded using RPT, the RPT proxy certificate is presented to the browser leading to the above message. Creating and installing a digital certificate will help you get rid of the above message during RPT recording.

Below are the links to IBM user guide which has details on creating digital certificates and recording a test with digital certificates:

While configuring Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI) on distributed environment, you have to catalog Rational Insight data warehouse (RIDW) and Rational Insight Content Manager (RICM) databases on the reporting server.
